When it comes to feeding infants their first foods, American parents are divided into two camps: those who favor spoon feed their infants purées and those who adhere to “baby led weaning,” which encourages babies to feed themselves. If this doesn’t seem all that complicated or controversial…think again. Who’s right? Liz and Jane talk to Amy Bentley, a professor at NYU about how we have fed babies through the ages, and to Dr. Krupa Playforth about the latest science to understand why it has come to this and how parents can make the best decision for their babies.
Want to know more? Check out Amy Bentley’s book: Inventing Baby Food: Taste, Health and the Industrialization of the American Diet.
Dr. Playforth, aka The Pediatrician Mom, has more resources to help: 101 Before One offers a printed guide, recipe book and digital platform which teaches parents how to introduce solids to their baby, with info on intuitive eating, nutrition and allergens.
